In a recent Twitter post, the 'No Fathers in Kashmir' actress said, "I just hope she grows up to realize that if you love what you do, that is exactly what God would want for you. And acting and the creative arts are in no way something dreadful or self-indulgent. To make people feel, cry, laugh, think & connect is in itself a noble thing to do." 

"Having said this I would certainly respect her decision as this business can be hugely overwhelming and often quite frightening. @ZairaWasimmm you’re so young and you may feel differently in 4 years time.. we will welcome you back with open arms sweetheart if that is so," Soni Razdan added.
